For Whom Am I Writing this Essay?

My brothers and sisters everywhere! With this essay, I am not singling
out the adherents of Islam—to which I ascribe—but rather I am writing
this essay to every man and woman throughout the whole world.
I ask Allah that He facilitates that this essay reaches every ear, falls under
the sight of every eye, and is understood by every heart.
By Allah, I have written this essay sincerely. I do not seek from anyone
reward or praise. I only seek to convey to all my brethren in humanity,
irrespective of their races or religions, an aspect of the great message
that Muhammad the son of ‘Abdullah, Allah’s final messenger to all the
peoples of the earth, was sent with.

They have attacked these Divine regulations, so that they may turn hu-
manity away from Allah’s true religion, His straight path, and bliss in this

world and the next – toward which the final Messenger of all Divine
messages came to give glad tidings and to invite all humanity to receive.

Muhammad the son of ‘Abdullah is Allah’s Prophet and the Final Mes-
senger Sent by Allah to the Inhabitants of Earth

My brothers and sisters everywhere! You should know that the Messen-
ger, Muhammad the son of ‘Abdullah (may Allah’s blessings and peace

be upon him) is Allah’s Messenger in reality and truth. The evidences

that show his veracity are abundant. None but an infidel, who out of ar-
rogance alone, could deny these signs.

Among these proofs [are the following:]
1. Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) was raised
illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death.
Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy.
Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or
any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty
years.
Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Quran that we now have
between our hands. This Quran mentioned most of the accounts found
in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest
